DirectDraw tuts

This is a discussion on DirectDraw tuts within the Game Programming forums, part of the General Programming Boards category; Does anyone know where I can find a DirectDraw tutorial describing everything , that includes initializing.
Thanks in advance...

DirectDraw does not exist anymore....in a sense. It has been merged with Direct3D to create DirectGraphics. It's much easier to fire up Direct3D and then simply access the frame and/or back buffer as you would in DirectDraw.
